Abstract
Dieser Beitrag gibt einen praxisnahen Überblick darüber, wie thorakale Erkrankungen zuverlässig anhand kleiner Präparate beurteilt werden können. Er zeigt, wie sich zytologische und histologische Verfahren sinnvoll ergänzen, warum eine sorgfältige Präanalytik und Materialsteuerung entscheidend sind und wie Zusatzuntersuchungen mit Augenmaß eingesetzt werden, um Gewebe zu schonen. Der Artikel greift aktuelle Entwicklungen wie digitale Auswerteverfahren auf und formuliert alltagstaugliche Empfehlungen – inklusive typischer Fallstricke und Hinweise zur Ergebnisinterpretation.
